Even though many peoples think so it were NOT the makers of Disneyland or the Las Vegas Illusionists who brought Neuschwanstein Castle – known around the world and even in mandarin or kanji as Cinderellas Castle – in scene. Neuschwanstein Castle was built by the Bavarian King Ludwig II.

But there is more worth seeing: Visit the impressing testimonial of architectural art, the castles Linderhof, Hohenschwangau as well as the Castle Füssen and the Wieskirche, a marvellous baroque church.

If you have already explored the immediate surroundings by foot or bike it is not the question what else there is to see but rather, what to see first!

Whether you visit Munich’s (100 km) German Museum, go shopping in Munich’s Theatinerstrasse, or visit Innsbruck’s (100 km) Alpine Zoo. Or maybe you’d rather go to Lake Constance and the “Drei-Länder-Eck”, Mainau Island (120 km), or the Zugspitze. Alternatively, explore Schloß Herrenchiemsee (160 km) or Kempten (30 km), one of Germany’s oldest cities. The choice is yours!
Many of these destinations can be reached by public transport or local bus tour operators.
